Happiness Is Cross Stitching

Halloween Freebie Cross Stitch Pattern and Free Floss tags to print.

2026-10-05T07:12:26.599+01:00

Hello everyone, and welcome back!

Halloween is just around the corner, and I’ve been busy whipping up some Halloween freebies just for you.

Get ready for some spooky stitching with a charming new haunted house cross stitch pattern and a set of floss tags to keep all your threads organised in style.

Haunted House Cross Stitch Pattern

First up, let’s talk about the stitching!

I designed this little haunted house to be a fun, spooky, and relatively quick project. It features a dark, silhouette-style manor, a glowing crescent moon, a very curious witchy cat (wearing its own tiny hat!), and even a hanging lantern.

It’s perfect for adding a touch of Halloween to your decor, stitching onto a bookmark, or framing as a small ornament.

Get Organized: Halloween Floss Tags

What’s a good stitching project without some serious thread organization? These matching Halloween floss tags are designed to compliment the pattern. There are multiple whimsical designs – check them out:

Witch hat with a pumpkin
Spooky black cats
Enchanted boots
Potions and brooms
Candles, moons, and pumpkins
A little ghost!

Each tag has holes ready to punch, about an half inch for the floss at the bottom and slightly smaller hole for the top.

They come in a set that you can print right at home. They aren’t just practical; they add a delightful touch of autumn to your craft corner.

Cross Stitched Needlebook Finish

2026-09-03T08:00:19.626+01:00

Hi everyone, Here is one of my latest finishes that I designed for the Autumn/Fall season.

I have put together these tips for you to follow how I made it. I think you can get the idea from following the photos.

Look at all of the photos first to get an idea of how the pieces go together.

Stitch the gingham covered side on the right to each piece on the left, leaving open at the top section to allow for the rectangle piece to be inserted.

Take a peek at all the photos below to understand the steps.

The rectangle section is a small piece of fabric folded and stitched together and then stitched to the top.

Sorry the pattern is no longer available.

Happy stitching!

Find Joy In The Little Things

I am absolutely in love with this pattern! 😍 It’s been such a joy to stitch. Unfortunately, I just managed to play a losing game of thread chicken and ran out of a colour right before the finish line! Time to hunt down another skein so I can finally finish it.

Pattern can be found at Wombat Stitching here on Etsy

New Mini Cat Design

I can finally share a look at my newest cross-stitch design!

This one is a cheerful little summer beach scene featuring Mini Cat soaking up the sun, complete with a tiny sun umbrella and a colourful beach ball.

I had so much fun mapping out the bright, sunny colors and capturing all those playful, pint-sized details stitch by stitch.

It’s pure, warm-weather cozy vibes, and I hope just looking at it brings a little bit of sunshine and a smile to your day!

St Patrick’s Day Mini Cat Free Pattern

2026-02-13T09:47:00.136+00:00

I have designed another free mini cat cross stitch pattern that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.

It’s small enough to finish in a single afternoon (ideally with a cat napping on your lap) and cute enough to display all year round. Also includes free floss tags!

You can find the link below for the pattern

This new addition joins the growing gallery of "lucky kittens."

If you’re looking to create a full set, be sure to check out the previous St. Patrick’s Day cat designs located further down this page!

Grab your favorite shade of emerald green floss, and let’s get stitching!

Why You’ll Love This Pattern:

Quick & Easy: Perfect for a "one-sitting" craft session.
Beginner Friendly: Uses only full cross stitches and some back stitches for the balloon strings and the lettering.
The Perfect Freebie: Designed to complement the earlier Irish-themed cat patterns for a cohesive look.

How to Get Started for a beginner stitcher.
Before you start stitching your lucky charm, make sure you have your supplies ready. For advanced stitchers you likely already have most of these in your craft stash!
What You’ll Need:
- Aida Cloth: 14-count white or ecru fabric works beautifully for this design.
- Embroidery Floss: Shades of vibrant green, a black for the cat, and a bright orange for the flag.
- Needle: A size 24 or 26 tapestry needle.
- Hoop: A small 3-inch or 4-inch hoop to keep your fabric taut.
- Scissors: For snipping your threads.
Quick Pro-Tip: If you’re planning on stitching the entire collection found below, try using a single larger piece of Aida cloth and spacing the cats out to create a festive "St. Paddy’s Kitty" sampler!

Mattress Pin Cushion Tutorial

2026-02-08T10:31:00.004+00:00

Hi everyone, I have been re-uploading some of my original posts from my old tutorial blog and decided to post them on here.

This is a mattress pin cushion I made quite some time ago.

Materials required

Finished cross stitch piece

Lightweight interfacing (Pellon in America)

Sharp scissors

Polyester fibre fill or flat quilt batting

Embroidery thread to match your design

Needle

You can make any design into a mattress pincushion as long as you stitch an outline around your pattern and create the panels with the same amount of stitches to line up with other pieces, you will see what I mean when you look at all of the photos.

Iron lightweight interfacing onto the back of each panel piece just within the edging lines.

Cut all panels like this

Line up edge so that each backstitch lines up with the backstitch on the other piece

Like this.......

You should have exactly the same amount of back stitches on each side.

Attach the next piece at the bottom, see the next picture for a close up!

Can you see? As long as you have exactly the same amount of stitches to match each side then it will be easy!

When you have stitched all four sides it should now look like this.

Fold over the corners and stitch them together

There are two ways to fill your mattress, one with fibrefill, which is the way I did it or you can cut pieces of quilt batting the same size as your mattress pincushion and place them inside the mattress before attaching the bottom of the mattress.

Using the quilt batting will give a much sharper finish to your mattress, I have made one with quilt batting and I think it was much nicer.

Attach the bottom piece and stitch to the top section and fill with fibre fill before you close the opening.

Your mattress pincushion should now look like this.

I think there are a few hundred french knots in this!

If you would like to see more mattress pin cushions then type Mattress Pin Cushion in the search bar or here are a few links below…

Strawberries in July cross stitch finish.

2025-07-19T17:42:00.005+01:00

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well?

I have been doing lots of stitching this week, one of my favourite finishes is this July Calendar Cat pattern featuring Miss Mini Cat harvesting strawberries and making jam.

Below are some photos showing the tutorial of how I completed the finishing into a fully finished object. (FFO)

Stitched on 14 count Aida

DMC stranded cotton threads

Materials required to complete the project

Card or mount board measuring about 2mm thick

Interfacing for the back of the stitching, can be fusible or not.

Thread for the lacing at the back.

Polyester wadding - optional (1 or 2mm thick)

Strong glue suitable for fabrics (I used a Prit Stick for the first time and it worked really well!) Not acid free though!

This image shows the wadding.

Lay your finished cross stitch face down and iron on the interfacing. Place wadding on top and then the mount board.

Thread your needle with strong thread or use sewing cotton doubled over. Start stitching from the middle and work your way to the edge.

Stitch to the end and fold corners over like this…

Fold over neatly

Make sure the front is aligned perfectly.

Start stitching again from the middle and work towards the opposite edge.

Once the lacing is finished on one side, thread your needle with another long piece and lace the long side from top to bottom as shown below.

Finish off at the corner.

The stitched piece is now ready for mounting on other card that has been covered by fabric.

Cut the fabric about half an inch larger all around to overlap the card, glue into each corner on the back and the sides and adhere to the card.

Measure each card slightly larger than the first piece so that you can stack them like this.

Glue each piece to the last.

You can lay something heavy over the stack and leave to dry. Place a piece of white paper onto the top of the cross stitch to protect the stitching.

I like to stitch the Ric-Rac to the cross stitch edging rather than using glue as it is easier to line it up correctly.

Until next time, happy stitching!

Free Be The Sunshine Cross Stitch Pattern and a hoop finish tutorial.

2025-07-02T15:42:00.006+01:00

Hi everyone, it is currently above 30c in France at the moment, pretty hot so we are indoors with the shutters closed!

In this post I show how to finish a cross stitch into a hoop and give you my latest free cross stitch pattern that is available as a pdf download.

I also show some photos of my latest Autumn designs that I have finished into a hoop and a small pillow.

Free pattern

If the sun is not shining outside (or in your heart at the moment) then here is a free cross stitch pattern for you to stitch. I used DMC thread and backstitched in metallic gold thread.

To download the pattern:

Click on the image of the pattern below and save to your computer or screenshot on ipad. If you would like a pdf copy of the pattern you can contact me in the contact form on my blog, but please leave me your email address in the message or I will not be able to reply.

Your email will only be used to respond to your message.

Stitching update.

I have been stitching quite a lot recently because the weather has been so hot and I had no energy to do anything else. I managed to get some finishing done on some of my projects.

Here is the June Calendar cat finished.

Autumn stitching

I finished a couple of Autumn designs, one into a hoop and the other into this small pillow.

Here is the reverse side of the pillow. I attached the Made with Love label using a pretty blanket stitch.

The pattern is available in my Etsy store here

The printable project planner, cards and floss tags are also available with a 20% discount for readers of my blog.

Finishing tips

If you decide to finish your design into a hoop, just iron some interfacing onto the back of your stitched piece, place it into a hoop and gather the fabric around the edge on the reverse side.

Use strong thread to gather around the edge

Then stitch across the hoop pulling but not too tight, finish off into the fabric with a few stitches.

Take the top hoop and draw a line inside the circle onto a piece of felt and then cut out. This will be the perfect size to attach to the back of the hoop using a blanket stitch.

I used DMC thread to finish the back

Use tiny stitches to hide them and finish into the felt.

I hope you live the hoop finish as much as I do!

Until next time, Happy Stitching!

December House Cross Stitch Pattern and my stitching for a cross stitch exchange.

2024-12-02T06:45:00.003+00:00

Hi everyone, here is the December House Cross Stitch pattern that is one of the posts I lost when I moved back to blogger, some of you may have seen this pattern before. If you would prefer a pdf copy of the pattern contact me on the contact form on the blog or it is available for free in my KoFi shop

How to download : Click on the image and then save to your computer or take a screenshot.

A completed exchange

I have recently completed a pin cushion and tape measure exchange from a Facebook group, I designed this little pillow and added some extra goodies for my exchange partner.

I stitched this little Autumn pillow.

Adding the year on the reverse.

I cut a small piece of the linen and blanket stitched around the edge

and then pulled the threads to create this little edging.

I love making these little pillows as they are a quick stitch but make ideal small gifts.

How I made the pillow.

Place the cross stitch face down on a towel and iron gently. Cut out a piece of iron on interfacing and iron it to the reverse of the cross stitch.

Cut a piece of fabric the same size as your cross stitch piece also with iron on interfacing attached, this gives the fabric some support.

Place right sides together and hand or machine stitch all around leaving a small gap at the bottom to allow you to turn the pillow to the right side.

Poke in the corners with a bamboo stick or scissors being careful not to poke a hole into the corners.

Press with your iron.

Fill with fibre fill or walnut shells and blind stitch the bottom.

I usually press the pillow again to finish.

If you wish to make a little Autumn pillow similar to this one then try this free pattern here.

Until next time, happy stitching!
